The state Legislature recently passed a bill removing sales taxes from necessary feminine products. As women have no choice about needing to buy these products, the sales tax was deemed unjustified, just the same as not taxing food. But Gov. Brown vetoed the bill.

Talk about a political war on women, this is intolerable. Adding insult to injury, voters in Ventura County (and many other places) are being urged to raise sales taxes on these same — and all other — taxable items.

Vote no on all measures that increase sales taxes.
